Delays, Delays, who cares, other games are coming out. you can argue that CS is still the most played online MP. I think that's because 13-17 yr olds have nothing to do and is stuck with FX5200 and MX4000. Let's hope HL2 won't end up like Tiberian Sun again. (Highly anticipated, delayed numerous times and SUCKED).

They get NO inside info, especially from self funded developers like valve. Hell vivendi their pub doesn't get any info. The only time the publisher of a self funded developer gets a release date is when they get the gold master CD. Until than they know nothing. Thats why Doom3's date was pushed back month by month for over a year, until the pub got their gold master. Than the release dates were accurate.
